And he’s put his money where his mouth is. If the world doesn’t end on May 21, one week from tomorrow, he’ll have wasted more than $140,000 on bus and subway advertising.

The 60-year-old Staten Island resident, a retired MTA employee, says he’s spent at least that sum—his life savings—on 1,000 subway-car placards, and even more ads on bus kiosks and subway cars. They say: “Global Earthquake: The Greatest Ever! Judgment Day May 21, 2011.”

May 22 is going to be a very sad day for a lot of people who will have lost everything. Unfortunately, it will have NO financial impact on Harold Camping, since it is not illegal to destroy lives in this way, in the name of religion. If this were an investment scheme, he would be in the cooler with Madoff et al.

Church; where sheep congregate to worship a zombie on a stick that turns into a cracker on Sundays…

Do you wanna know one thing that all of the past end-of-the-world predictions have in common… [all of the past end-of-the-world predictions have proven wrong, because the earth is still here. ] I do feel sad for the devout though, spending so much money on this, thinking that they are helping to warn people. Oh those Protestants, when will they learn? On the other hand though, if they got their wish, then it would mean fewer of them in the world, would that be a bad thing?

ebiblefellowship, their argument is extremly convoluted, their math is hole-ey, they are as preachy as can be by repeatedly asking the reader to believe in Christianity, and they are basing this mainly on the Bible, so it is (to say the least) hard to decipher, but I’m just trying to get at the core here…

1) Genesis 7:4 (NIV) “Seven days from now I will send rain on the earth for forty days and forty nights,” God warned Noah that the flood would last seven days, starting 4990 BC (a date that ebiblefellowship promises is completely accurate).

2) 2 Peter 3:8 (NIV) “With the Lord a day is like a thousand years, and a thousand years are like a day.” Warning us that when God warned Noah the flood would come in seven days, that the warning also applies 7 * 1000 = 7000 days later, in addition to the first time.

3) -4990 + 7000 = 2010 (plus 1 for the off-by-one-error correction), which they think results in May 21, 2011. Which is the end of the world, by fire they say. Enjoy repenting everyone, sarcastically speaking.

bicycles: less mass, no fuel, lower speed, more beautiful, more quiet, lower cost, less wear-and-tear on the roads, more social because you can talk to people beside you, low-impact heart healthy exercise, easy parking… they are not perfect, but are they better than cars?.

Times just about up! Everyone hold onto your pants, it’ll be a wild ride for sure! Oh, whatever, either it won’t happen tomorrow, or it will. Either the god’s math is so lousy that 1 = 1000, and that duplicates everything in creation that can be dated, or it doesn’t, or some such silliness. Maybe everyone should write to ebiblefellowship and wish them well. I wonder if they have an email address? They’ll probably just delay the end until the end of the year, and then beyond, if their wish doesn’t work out.

One more hour. I’m going to sit on the back porch, smoke a cigar, and read a good book. Or maybe fling some Angry Birds at some pigs. I’ll pour myself a bit of bourbon at 8 p.m. PDT and toast another false prophet.

You cannot have a rational discussion with someone who holds irrational beliefs.

Tick tick everyone. I wrote the ebiblefellowship people and invited them here, I hope they’re in a talking mood, try to make friends everyone.

Humanists, will you be laughing with the sinners tomorrow, or crying with the saints? Actually, I don’t even like milk and honey all that much. Baklava? Eh, no thanks.

I wonder who deserves more blame if things don’t work out for the profits, all that money spent on advertising and not on the hungry? At least the ebiblefellowship has the excuse that they were confused by their beliefs.
